I was driving past a meadow of deep purple (my favourite colour)
anywho I stopped, took a cutting and I am now told it's Patterson's Curse!
I have a HUGE garden so there's plenty of room.
How bad is this delightful flower?

Yep, it sure is a beaut colour.

But don't praise it too loudly in farming areas, where they spend
untold amounts, to no avail it seems, to get rid of it.

You may get lynched for propogating it further.

Manya farm paddock is completely overrun with it.

Oh bugger I don't want to be a trouble maker!
I promise not to let it spread like what happened to the tadpoles- frogs.
Once on my evening walk, suddenly everyone had frogs croaking in there front
yard after my tadpoles left home.
I was so excited when they got legs!

Nothing wrong with lots of frogs, unless they are Cane Toads
While frogs can be very noisy, they are an indicator of a healthy
environment. You are to be congratulated for spreading them.

Unfortunately, with the expansion of the urban environment and the
increasing use of "nasty" sprays, frogs are dying out in nature.
